Shoes / New Balance 5000v2 - Spikeless running shoes
« on: January 07, 2016, 03:33:54 pm »
Soo.. i've been thinking about getting a pair of "running flats" instead of "cross country flats". Something that road runners/racers are actually out there competing with for asphault 5k-10k's etc. I did several days of research and decided on these:
http://www.newbalance.com/pd/5000v2/MRC5000-V2.html#color=Hi-Lite_with_Black&width=D
They are < 4 oz (~3.6 oz), wtf?
... they have a ~5mm drop. Certainly not zero (like I prefer), but probably close enough for a running shoe.
One reason i've shy'd away from shoes like this is: cost. My XC flats are always MUCH cheaper.
Man I love New Balance.. so I imagine I won't be disappointed. I will probably get to try them out tomorrow.

Bio: Morning
sleep = 9 hr
wakeup = 10:00 AM
bw = 157 lb.
morning resting heart rate = didn't measure
soreness = calves slightly, legs a bit tight, left shin painful (but went away ~1 hr after waking up)
aches = right elbow slightly, left achilles SLIGHTLY (on only a few strides) when I ran in the evening
injuries = toenails wrekt.
teeth cleaning & stuff pushed back my morning.
Session: Afternoon
2 PM - 3 PM
upper:
- mostly dip/pullup/ng pullup variations
- notables:
-- parallel bar dips: BW x 10
-- dead hang ng pullups (pulling up even higher now): BW x 7
-- dead hang pullup singles: BW + 30 lb. x singles
-- went to failure: dead hang ng pullups, parallel bar dips, dead hang pullups; adding 10 lb, 20 lb, 30 lb.
-- parallel bar dip partials at the bottom: BW x 15-20
- dip belt snapped at 40 lb.
- finished with core (leg lifts from dip & pullup position)
- pulling up higher on my pullups/chinups/ng pullups etc.. because of strength gains.. if i pull up a bit higher, it'll make muscle ups easier
Food
3 PM
- 1 x failife whole milk
Food
3:30 PM
- 6 x eggs over easy
- 1 x greek yogurt
- 1 x orange juice
- 2 x banana
Session: Evening
7:45 PM
crap session.. dead
jump rope warmup:
- 5 x 100, very fast
- based on this, figured it would be a good session
run:
- 3.71 mi in 24:48
- legs tight (quads especially), felt my achilles "ache" on a few strikes, mentally dead
- strike: mostly heel->toe
- avg speed: 9.0 mph / 6:41 min/mi
- max speed: 11.4 mph
splits:
- 5k: 20:21
- ^^ ran like crap and actually ran my best 5k since running with the watch.. heh
- mile 1: 6:16.3
- mile 2: 6:40.0
- mile 3: 6:39.5
got to this ~3.5 mi point and decided to just head home because of how I felt, primarily due to the achilles ache. That "jolt" it took yesterday definitely strained it a bit. It doesn't seem like anything serious though soo..
lift:
- bad
bb deep squat, pausing on low pin:
- planned on doing 155 lb. @ 5 x 5
- instead i did:
- 45 lb. x 10
- 135 lb. x 5
- 155 lb. x 5
- cut the workout here well early.
Food
- fake greak salad with a decent amount of grilled chicken
- 1 x greek yogurt
Food
- 1 x fairlife whole milk
a combination of things wrecked my evening workout.. including kcal intake.
that long run yesterday might have drained me quite a bit too, even though it was only ~2 miles more than I usually run on my long run.. quad tightness and right elbow definitely suffered from that run.
all good tho.

« on: January 06, 2016, 01:14:00 pm »run:
- 10.69 mi in 1:25:42
- pace: 8:01 min/mi
- FAIL
- wanted to hit sub 8 min/mi every mile.. actually thought I was on pace. I need to better figure out how my virtual pacer works.
- 1st mile was 6:xx, 2nd & 3rd were 7:xx, 4th-10th were 8:xx, 11th (10+) was 7:xx
Over 17km now, niiiiice, approaching half marathon distance. Isn't this some kind of distance PR?
thx! ya it's a distance PR since getting this watch.
Quote
8mins mile average pace is pretty good too for first attempt.
ya it's ok. it's just that I thought I was on pace for sub 8 every mile, so I didn't increase my speed. so that annoyed me once I saw the stats ;f
I like using the virtual pacer, it's going to make me shoot for higher quality (every mile) in each session.

Bio: Morning
sleep = 7 hr + 1 hour nap
wakeup = 7 AM
bw = 157 lb.
morning resting heart rate = 43
soreness = calves slightly
aches = right knee slightly, knees/quads slightly
injuries = some toe nails, left & right 2nd toenail especially, also left third turning red (which will eventually turn black)
Food
2 PM
- 6 x eggs over easy
- brie and crackers
- 1 x banana

- 1st mile was 6:xx, 2nd & 3rd were 7:xx, 4th-10th were 8:xx, 11th (10+) was 7:xx
- left knee was bothering me for pretty much the entire run.. need to be more careful squatting 'heavy' the day prior.
- almost wrecked my ankle/achilles when I went off the sidewalk and planted on a big root.. couldn't see since it was pretty much pitch dark in that section. was scary.
Food
- 2 x milk
Food
- 1 x chicken sandwich with shredded parmesan, on wheat
- 5 x banana
- 1 x greek yogurt
- some steamed veggies
Food
- 1 x milk
got some milk today.. lactose free + double the protein + less carb as normal. something called "fairlife" I think.. actually pretty good. really wanted to just guzzle down the entire jug.
feel tired and wrecked right now. toes are hurting.
run should have been alot better.. i could have pushed harder and got all of those miles under 8:xx. like I said above, need to figure out the pacer on my watch.
